Day by Day

As LifeNews points out, Franciscan warned of this outcome in September,
while the Obama administration contemplated how to structure the
religious exemption to the contraception/sterilization mandate. Dozens
of Catholic colleges and universities insisted that they would not
comply with a government mandate to provide products and services that
violate religious doctrine. As a result, in just this one case,
hundreds if not thousands of students will have to get their coverage
from the government, subsidized by taxpayers, unless they can get
coverage from Mom & Dad.

The cost issue shows that the problem won’t end with the religious
exemption. Franciscan is a relatively small school, one that cannot
self-insure and save costs through managing their own premiums. Many
small businesses will have the same problems meeting the new coverage
mandates even apart from contraception and sterilization, making it
easier to pay the penalties for not providing the insurance and throwing
employees onto public subsidies instead. That will cause an explosion
in the overall cost of ObamaCare, and a much higher burden for
taxpayers.

Remember, folks - THIS IS THEIR ACTUAL GOAL - to make people into slaves, dependent on the government for their very lives. Because once you enslave a population, you don't have to worry about silly things like elections.
